What is a Montessori School? It’s the most obvious question and the answer is actually very simple. The Montessori philosophy is based on children’s natural developmental needs. Then it gets more complicated. Children need space and freedom to learn … Continued

Parents want children to be polite, kind, and civilized. But what does it take to foster that outcome? Mammals, especially humans, are social learners. We gain knowledge from our environment and from other people, especially from those whom we love. … Continued

Dear Andrea, Heather and the Singing Forest team

I would like to extend my greatest gratitude for the beautiful work you put in educating and raising my Melo.

She has grown to be a smart and independent little girl. As a result of your contribution in her growth I can relate to the saying “it takes a village to raise a child” – the Singing Forest team has been such a positive influence in her development.

I’m sure I …

“My very defiant, headstrong and michievious little boy has spent a year and a half at Singing Forest – and I cannot praise the school and staff highly enough. The loving & supportive environment they have created ensured our little man could be himself, but could also find his way and his place in a montessori classroom context; he has developed and grown under the care and facilitation of Aneesa and Andrea in particular. Tha…

My son joined Singing Forest for his (2nd) Grade 0 year. Everything that his previous school got so badly wrong with him (and his mum!), Singing Forest just naturally did right. They truly work with the individual and understand that we are all different and then embrace this! I have never felt any pressure as the parent to sort things out, only good communication and a genuine need to sort out any issues that may crop up. Another very important aspect for me, was the timing of parent ev…

I am so grateful that my son Oscar was able to join Heather and her crew at Singing Forest. I was absolutely confident that he was in the best possible hands and the staff always went above and beyond nurturing and stimulating my child, enabling him to reach his full potential. He is now at Chartwell House Montessori Eco School. Thanks so much Heather, Andrea and Ruth!!!

Hi Heather,

I wanted to drop you a quick mail to say thank you so much for the get well card Kuval made for my mom. She wanted me to tell you she appreciates the thought. She was in tears when he gave it to her.

Thank you again

Warm Regards

When my son KB joined Singing Forest he was 22 months old and we were barely a family of 10 children at the school. Such humble and memorable beginnings we had. When he left the school at the end of 2013, our Singing Forest family had grown beautifully and my KB, now a tall 5 year old hunk of a guy (about to turn 6), was ready to take on big school – in every way, thanks to Singing Forest!
At Singing Forest, life is beautiful! From the very beginning, Heather ensured a personal relati…

It feels like my baby is leaving a part of his family. It has been a wonderful year for him and I still believe bringing him to Singing Forest this year was a good move and we are happy with all he has learned, just sorry it was so short.

Thank you Heather for the excellent service you are always giving. And May God Pour His Blessings over you and your entire family. We are so grateful to have someone like you whom we can always count on, trust and believe in with our little souls who we …

Sending your toddler to school for the first time has got to be one of THE most stressful, heart breaking moments a parent can go through, ok not all parents, maybe just the overly protective softies like myself.

From the moment I opened the gates at Singing Forest I knew I had found a home away from home for my daughter. Not only was I able to phone a million times a day to check if my daughter was ok, Heather completely understood my feelings and emotions and helped me overcome every sing…

Our eldest daughter has been at Singing Forest for three and a half years
and our younger daughter for 7 months.
I have been so happy with the school, standard of teaching, quality of
teachers and friends that they have made. As a parent one is often nervous
of sending one’s babies to be cared for by others and I can honestly say that
from the first day the staff at Singing Forest have put my mind at rest.
A few years down the line my daughter has a genuine love of learning and
natura…
